Chattanooga scored a double whammy here with Marion Duvernay winning the individual title with rounds of 74, 70 and 75 for three-over-par 219, finishing two shots clear of the field of 79 players.

The last named's Abbey Gittings could not keep up her terrific form of the opening weeks of the US college golf season.
